thats the same question i have myself lol. i am thinking that i am going to go for the house first it is a much larger purchase and new car payments would put you back a while longer from buying a home.

It depends on your situation-are You in a stable job that you don't plan on moving around or changing career? If you do have itchy feet,get the car first,then rent until you decide to stop moving..Personally speaking,I bought the car first,rented,then once I had the car paid off I looked into buying my house..Like you said,you can get a used car,not too expensive for cash,then you don't have to worry about car finance denting your options on a Mortgage...good luck with the decision!

True on the rising house prices...You could make the investment in the house,then if you weren't going to live in it,rent it out,maybe cover your mortgage payments..

I have a big family thats why I choose to have a house first before buying a car. It's very hard to rent and keep on transferring to one house or apartment to another, whenever the owner will increase the rent or for whatever reasons. And i really experienced it. Thanks God we were able to have our house 6 years ago and in just about 2 years back we also got out first car. God bless us all!

If I were to choose, I'd buy a house first. Then the car. But with the trend of the gasoline price increase nowadays, I would think about a 100 times before deciding to buy a car. It's more expensive having a car than just taking a public transportation. (But if I have a lot of money, I'd buy the house and the car! Even lots of them. lol)

Yaa that's what bothering me, but i always had to stay late in the office and its hard to wait for the public transport to pass my office after 8 pm huhu thats why i need a car =0

In my opinion a man should buy a house first because that the thing he needs the most for his living without car he can live but without home t is very difficult to live.And ithink once person buys home after some time he can buy the car also For me i prefer home first

If your wealth allows,I advise you buy a house first.House is called real estate--its value is adding day by day definitely.While car is just a consuming product.

It all depends on you situation. Do you have somewhere you are living that needs transportation and cant have public transport? Do you have no where to live? Do you want a new car or would you be happy with a used car. Honestly around here most people seem to get an older used car to go to and from work or school for a while and then either invest in a home or a more expensive car. It seems to depend on what is available for homes, work, cars, etc. As well as afford-ability.

If you don't have a place to live or still live with your parents than the answer is most definitely house - it's very important to have your own place - it boosts moral as well as allows you to do whatever you like whenever you like in it.

I think you should buy a house first. Because if not, you have to rent one, you have to pay rental every month. Now , You pay instalments instead of rental. Finally, when the instalments are paid, the house belonged to you.

It is a better choice for you to buy a house first. Because if you buy a house it will help you cut down on rent. But if you buy a car you have to spend on it eventhough it will help you go places.

a house is a longer term paying investment a car shorter term and one you would own a lot faster.if you earn good money maybe think about getting both live in the house and take in borders to help with costs.or buy your first home with a family member later you can eather buy out their halve or sell and buy your own good luck
